 FURTHER REVISIONS TO THE ALLOCATION PROVIDED FOR FISCAL YEAR 2012 TO 
THE COMMITTEE ON APPROPRIATIONS AND THE BUDGETARY AGGREGATES FOR FISCAL 
                               YEAR 2012

  Mr. CONRAD. Mr. President, I previously filed committee allocations 
and budgetary aggregates pursuant to section 106 of the Budget Control 
Act of 2011. Today, I am further adjusting some of those levels, 
specifically the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations for 
fiscal year 2012 and the budgetary aggregates for fiscal year 2012.
  Section 101 of the Budget Control Act allows for various adjustments 
to the statutory limits on discretionary spending, while section 106(d) 
allows the Chairman of the Budget Committee to make revisions to 
allocations, aggregates, and levels consistent with those adjustments. 
The Senate will be considering the conference report to H.R. 2112, the 
Consolidated and Further Continuing Appropriations Act of 2012. That 
conference report includes funding designated for disaster relief. In 
total, the amount of such designations is lower than amounts passed by 
the Senate earlier this month. Consequently, I am lowering adjustments 
made previously to the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations 
and to the aggregates by a total of $847 million in budget authority 
and $79 million in outlays.
  I ask unanimous consent that the following tables detailing the 
changes to the allocation to the Committee on Appropriations and the 
budgetary aggregates be printed in the Record.
  There being no objection, the material was ordered to be printed in 
the Record, as follows:
